Halloween Tree
Loved the little ghosts hanging from the tree as I drove by, and had to stop for a quick picture. One week until Halloween!

SPQR
Just north of Fern on North Main, there is an elaborate Halloween display. It’s a scene from ancient Rome, of which this is just a portion. Be sure to slow down the next time you drive by.

An iconic sign from New Britain Avenue in the Elmwood section of West Hartford.
Lone Tree
I couldn’t resist photographing this scene; multiple things caught my eye. The lone tree, perfectly manicured, was first. Next the light pastels of the flowers in bloom. And finally the meticulously maintained building. Not a typical scene, but an interesting one.

Walgreens Redevelopment
An employee of the Walgreens at the corner of Farmington and Prospect said that the store will be closing on October 10, 2014 in preparation for the site’s redevelopment. A new Walgreens building will be put on the site, and construction is expected to last from 6 to 9 months. Pharmacy services will be available on-site in a portable facility during construction.
